Bremmer is wrong to say that Obama policy in the Ukraine doesn't have an effect on Russia or the world order of nations.The soft non-military response of sanctions is a greater achievement then any hard military response that would have created total upheaval in the World. Putin played a weak hand but with a highly trained well equipped military with critical areas of great strength to Russia along its borders to the Ukraine. Obsama with much more limited military options than Putin, Obsama was able to create sanctions as critical response to Russia military action with limited support from NATO nations. These sanctions did had a strong effect and stop Russia from directly invading the Ukraine and it was done without hard costly direct military actions from US or NATO.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538e2331ecad047a1e72a1f8Michael KafirTue, 03 Jun 2014 15:34:09 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538e2331ecad047a1e72a1f8

Ridiculous! Ukraine just lost Crimea because the USA organized there coup d'estat and force legally elected president to run for his life. Because of it, Ukraine lost Crimea and it was annexed fully legitimane way.The USA obviously cooperated the neo-fascists there, and therefore the overwhelming majority of Ukraine does not want to recognize even the newly elected president, not mentioning this "interim" fascist Tyagnibock.Now Ukraine has fully ruined economy and the astronomical debt to Russia, not mentioning that without Russia Ukraine has absolutely nothing to heat themselves. Probably, the biggest part of Ukraine would be given to Russia as Russian additional territory. And that all Obama called his victory. It-all remins me the pay of E.L. Shwarts "Dragon", where in the second act the wandering knight Lancelot killed Dragon, but during their battle the information about the battle, given by Dragon's servants, had the same quality and was the same way truthful, as this article is. Ridiculous is the east what is possible to say on the subject.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538deebdeab8eacf1d248e8eMike AlanTue, 03 Jun 2014 11:50:21 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538deebdeab8eacf1d248e8e

G7 sanctions on Russia are light
G 7 industries continue to lobby their respective governments not to impose harsh sanctions so as to protect billions of dollars of trade with Russia
Major factor pushing Russia into a recession is the huge capital flight in excess of $70 billion since January 1, 2014 plus the lack of interest from western investors to invest in Russia - market economies needs fluid capital inflows to function
To avoid deeper and wider sanctions Putin has pulled back most of the 40,000 Russian troops from the Ukraine border BUT has arranged for Chechen and other Russian mercenaries to cross into eastern Ukraine to support the pro-Russian rebels
Putin is counting on that this clandestine war will not trigger additional G 7 sanctions and it allows the EU to delay any further sanctions
Lots of political rehetoric from G7 leaders while at the same time industries in these countries continue to do robust business with Russia
In effect the Ukraine is on its own in dealing with Russia

Obama Believes He's Actually Beating Putin because he's a narcissist.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5387cd7fecad04551b5a3d5czeromeinThu, 29 May 2014 20:14:55 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5387cd7fecad04551b5a3d5c
Actually, the whole thing in Ukraine is about controlling even more of the Eurasian Energy Industrial Complex. Ukraine signed a deal with Chevron to develop $10B worth of exploration projects. Also, all natural gas that Europe receives flows through the Ukraine. Putin knows what he is doing. Once he controls the supply and the transport territories, he can virtually strangle Europe through monopoly pricing power. If they are dependent on him and his allies, what can they do? As is the case with most foreign policy decisions, it all boils down to accumulation of resources to empower your country so as to impose your will to the extent possible. #ItIsAboutPower and #PowerStemsFromResourceshttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/5387c09fecad04c7655a3d5dJoe WalkerThu, 29 May 2014 19:19:59 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5387c09fecad04c7655a3d5d

No, we aren't engaged in WW3, we aren't having US troops engaged with Russian troops in Eastern Ukraine and Putin looks like the horse's ass.
So Obama is winning, so far.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538793e0eab8ea727db36469gtrailsThu, 29 May 2014 16:09:04 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538793e0eab8ea727db36469
BI writers and editors: Love your website, but you have to stop being such Obama apostles and seek some balance to be credible. Russian just forcibly annexed one of the most wealthy parts of a neighboring country (Crimea offshore gas reserves are estimates at 8 trillion cubic feet of gas) and you claim "Obama is beating Putin". That is akin to saying that former UK Prime Minister Chamberlain "beat Hitler" by "forcing" him to sign the Munich agreement after forcible annexing Austria. We all know how well that went.
Try to be more balanced. Obama has done some things well, but his foreign policy has been a disaster ....and he is not beating anyone. The mid-East is a mess, China is seizing islands and harassing Japan, Iraq is back to a being a mess, Korea is testing Nukes, Iran is moving forward with their nuclear weapons program despite the claimed "success" of sanctions, and the leader of Afghanistan wouldn't even meet with Obama. Al-Qaida groups are flourishing and spreading into Africa, his "re-set" with Russia has been a total failure, his relations with Israel are at an all time low, and even the Canadian government is fed up him over the Keystone pipeline flip flops.

Man, I don't know what you are drinking but your comment, "...Of course all three news outlets are unanimously condemning Obama's speech, all three news outlets are owned and operated by Rupert Murdoch....."? The NYT is a publicly traded company(NYT ticker name), and controlled by the Pinch Sulzberger - NYC liberal! The Washington Post was recently bought by Jefff Bezos (who also invested in BI and owns Amazon) and is also liberal, only the WSL is owned by Murdoch.

Exactly. The opinion. Hitler also was able to mobilize opinion of Germans about killing Jews and conquering the world. The question is, what kind opinion?

Russia has been folding into terminal ruin since long before Mr. Obama was even born. It is a vicious remnant from the Middle Ages that failed the test of modernizing since the Crimean War.
One mad dictator after another slowly destroys the society with one man megalomaniac rule with Mr. Putin simply the most recent. He, himself, is just completing 15 years in personal power going nowhere but downhill slowly.
China, India, Pakistan, and Iran will eventually take over this ramshackle outfit.

Obama is just listening to the American people. No-one want's another war monger like Bush spending trillions of dollars bombing straw huts in far off lands.
Time to scale back our military and stop being world police. It's like USA is the big daddy of a bunch of delinquent screaming squabbling children, and we have to sort out all the arguments. about whats fair and not. This is only the result of giving out presents (bribes, foreign aide) and meddling in the affairs and tying to control everyone.

Obama strategy: I let Putin kick my ass, in Syria, the Ukraine, Snowden, eventually he will get tired of beating me up and move on to something else....http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53876f8c6bb3f7245329a00eTheodoreBallgamePhDThu, 29 May 2014 13:34:04 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53876f8c6bb3f7245329a00e
"99.9.10s%"
Never trust the opinion of anyone who uses two decimal points in one number.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53876b3b69beddeb4c46c94eJerryPThu, 29 May 2014 13:15:39 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53876b3b69beddeb4c46c94e
"Obama is still delusional"
You took the words out of my mouth.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538768696bb3f72b3929a010Beltway GregThu, 29 May 2014 13:03:37 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538768696bb3f72b3929a010
Bremmer, Bremmer, Bremmer. Look 99.9.10s% of Americans can't locate the Ukraine on a map. Given the woeful ignorance of Americans in regard to foreign policy, heck, any policy all of their concepts are based on fears and fallacies. Obama has done a great job and now Putin looks like an idiot and he's getting his ass handed to him by a guy who makes candy and a bunch of steelworkers. Can that change? Hell yes, but Putin has to move in some serious firepower and kill a great deal of people and make himself look like a thug. (Not too hard.) Putin thought this was going to be easy and if we blame anyone blame the Ukrainian people: they don't want to be Western necessarily, but they don't want to live in a regressionist society. Putin could be so much but he chooses to be so little.
Obama understands. No point in trying to make someone look like a fool when he's doing it himself.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538767606bb3f7643229a00eSnow SoulThu, 29 May 2014 12:59:12 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/538767606bb3f7643229a00e
So, the point off this article is Obama is still delusional?
